Write a complex Problem/Solution composition (práctica evaluable)

In the last few years global warming has become such a big issue because of the increase of pollution. Global warming is a topic very discussed by scientist and his main effect is the raise of global temperature. This changes in global temperature can develop far-reaching effects on climate patterns. Many of this changes have already begun, such as more powerful hurricanes, droughts and bad air because of smog pollution.

Nowadays we can't make this problem disappear but we have the resources to try to reduce this problem. The easiest solution to try to reduce this problem would be to follow the three R's (reduce, recycle, reuse)and buying eco-friendly products because it's a thing that people from all ages can do and sometimes with this solution you can even save money. A second solution could be trying to reduce  exhaust fumes because they are the main cause of deterioration of the ozone layer and also are bas for human health. Another solution could be using renewable energies such as wind powers or solar powers which are probably the most effective solution.

In my opinion, global warming is a very serious issue that we can't ignore because this affects human beings and all living things. If we don't try to reduce this issue all those effects that have already begun will get worse.

Describe someone

It’s a mistake to think that campings  are a cheap type of tourism. Nowadays it is thought that only the people who go on holidays to campings go there because they don’t have enough money to stay in a hotel or in any other accommodation with a higher status.

In the last few years, campings have developed a lot and they are not like they used to be. The quality of them is better and, now they are as well considered as hotels. And the prices are similar or even more expensive. An example of these higher prices can be found when you want to buy a caravan, because some caravans can cost as much as a house.

Now campings are more expensive than they were before because they offer a lot of activities that you won’t find in any other accommodation. Go camping is a fantastic way to spend your holidays because you can be connected to nature at another level, and also they offer you  a big range of services such as restaurants, spa, swimming pool, summer cinema, thematic parties and also you can make new friends. There, there are activities for all ages, and campings even hire people to the children entertainment so parents can have a relaxing time.


As I see it, people don’t choose to stay in campings because they think it is cheaper, they go there because they want to enjoy a different way of being on holiday, closer to nature.

INTRODUCTION & CONCLUSION.

Nowadays fashion is an important aspect in our lives. It is something that we see every day, on the streets, on TV, shops, everywhere. Everyone cares about fashion, specially young people,  they  want to find their own style and they keep buying and changing their clothes  until they find it, and that is something good. But, is the youth obsessed with fashion?

To sum up  fashion has become in one of the most important things for the youth until the point that they get obsessed with that, and the youth should learn that fashion can be important for us  but there are more important things than that.

Problem/Solution paragraph

One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. Many scientists believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heating effect on the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human life. 

Now we can’t make this problem disappear, but we have the resources to reduce the impact of this problem. In order to overcome these problems we can try to buy eco-friendly products and follow the three Rs (reduce, recycle, reuse) instead of buying stuff made by fossil fuels, that are being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the world, that is the easiest solution to reduce global warming. A second answer could be using renewable energies such as solar power, wind power and even using hybrid cars, because vehicles of transportation are the main source of exhaust fumes. The ozone layer helps to protect life on earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, and those exhaust fumes that come from cars contribute to ozone depletion and also are bad for human’s health. If we all collaborate we could try to reduce this problem, we have the technology and the resources to do it. So why don’t we create a better world without pollution?

How advertisements affect today's society.

Nowadays we live in a consumer society in which we are more exposed to advertisement than ever before. We see advertisements everywhere, in magazines and newspapers, on the radio, on TV,on internet, in the mail, even over the phone. And this generate an impact over the society.

 Advertisements are a very useful way for the companies to show their products and to convince people that their products are better  than the ones that sell other companies. Marketing is one of the most important parts on a company and that’s why they spend a lot of money on the promotion of their products ,it helps them to make sure that people know the benefits of the products and to establish a corporate image. At first they provided valuable information about products and services, but in the last few year it has become in a way to exploit our deepest fears, attractions, needs, desires, goals and thoughts. Personally speaking an advertisement that I specially like is the commercial with the powerful slogan “Adidas is all in’’ , which is  the largest marketing campaign in the history of the brand, was launched in March 2011 and shows the unmistakable presence of Adidas in different sports, cultures and lifestyles and fuses the worlds of sport, music and fashion, under the image of incredible celebrities such as Lionel Messi, Derrick Rose, Katy Perry and B.O.B.

An important thing that we mustn’t forget is that good advertisements are done to capture the attention of the customers and try to make an impact on them , sometimes it doesn’t matter if the impact is good or bad, they just want you to create polemic and make people talk about the company or the products that they offer. Beside this , we can also find advertisements that are done for good, for make people think and realize about environmental issues, health habits or social differences.


To sum up, there are a lot of kind of adverts and commercials that are made to attract our attention and that is something that we can’t avoid , but want we can do is make our own decisions and don’t let a commercial blind us.
Nowadays ,there are a lot of animals living in zoos. But, is it right or wrong to keep them in the zoos?
I think that almost everyone have been in a zoo in their childhood, it is a great experience for children going to zoos, it’s a place where they can see wild, beautiful, exotic animals. And know some characteristics of each of them. An other advantage is that animals who live in zoos don´t get starve, they are protected and one of the most important things, with this program the specialist can develop wildlife conservation programs for thousands of animal species. This is particularly crucial to the extinct species.

Beside this, it doesn’t matter how comfortable are animals in zoos, it's not their natural habitat In zoos they are not free, they can’t run or coexist  with other animal species.That conditions make them unhappy and restless.

The WWF considers captive breeding of rare, threatened, or endangered species, the “last resort” strategy for the captive breeding programs.The goal of most captive breeding programs for endangered species is to establish captive populations that are large enough to be demographically stable and genetically healthy, in other words: saving endangered species to keep them in captivity, ensuring that his  reproduction is reliably  and once they have achieved this reintroduce animals back to the wild.
An example of that is the Ex Situ conservation program of the Iberian lynx, with this program they have achieved more animals than those who were removed from the field as the founders of the program, at first they were only 49 lynx and now they are 69 lynx that have born in the breeding program and also have been reintroduced, including the latest releases of July in Extremadura and Castilla- la Mancha .


So as I see it, the captive breeding is the best way to save endangered animals because they have the reproduction almost guaranteed and once they have done it, they can go back to their natural habitat.




New York



N.Y is known around the world for being the biggest city of the United States. Its skyline is truly awe-spiring. The skyscrapers, bridges, waterways, islands and monuments create a breathtaking panorama that is instantly recognizable worldwide. The city that never sleeps is a center of appeal, a multicultural shock where you can find people from the most unexpected places in the world.

It's core is Manhattan, a labyrinth of streets lined with iconic buildings and landmarks including the Empire State Building, that is probably New York's best known building and can be seen on many postcard and films, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of art; Times Square known for its Broadway theatre, cinemas and electronic billboards. It is one of the places that makes New York a city that never sleeps. And also don't forget Central Park, that besides being the heart of Manhattan, this park is one of the favorite places of New Yorkers and tourists for walking, sunbathing or doing sport.

Another top visited place for tourists is Fifth Avenue, NY shopping is an entirely different experience than shopping in another city. Whether you are searching for the latest fashions, NY souvenirs, or useful housewares, New York outlets on Fifth Ave cater to every taste and budget.

In conclusion, this metropolis with 10 millions inhabitants is the place where it all happens. Each neighborhood  that its own identity.New York or ''The big apple'', is more than a city. It's an experience. And I hope that one day I could visit this mazing city.
